Strawberry and O'Neill Craters

Figure 22.

Diagram showing how an intruding magma body into the cone structure may have caused the deformation at the rim of Strawberry Crater. A) Magma body begins intruding into the cone strucuture. B) Outward directed pressure from the inflating magma body is transmitted through ventward dipping agglutinate (red) to the rim deposits (blue).
